Business Brigades at University of Bayreuth

Global Brigades ist die weltgrößte, von Studierenden geführte Entwicklungsorganisation und folgt einem ganzheitlichen Ansatz mit sich ergänzenden Projekten in den Bereichen Wasserversorgung, Mikrofinanzen, Gesundheit und öffentliche Hygiene. Viele Menschen in Panama sind gewillt, Risikobereitschaft zu zeigen und Geld in ihr Unternehmen zu investieren. Aufgrund von fehlendem ökonomischen Wissen und finanziellem Know-How wissen sie jedoch nicht, wie sie ihre Ideen effizient umsetzen können. Auf der Business Brigade unterstützen die Studierenden die Menschen darin, ihr Unternehmen erfolgreich umzugestalten und dadurch ihren persönlichen Lebensstandard, aber auch das Wohl der ganzen Community nachhaltig zu verbessern. Eine Gruppe von 7 Studenten der Uni Bayreuth fliegt für 10 Tage in ein Dorf in Panama um den Bewohner beim Aufbau des eigenen, kleinen Unternehmens zu helfen. Die Dorfbewohner erhalten Fortbildungen und werden nachhaltig unterstützt.
